Questions & Answers about Modemi yeniden başlattıktan sonra internete erişimim düzeldi.
Why is it modemi and not modem?
Because modemi has the accusative suffix -i, marking it as a specific/definite direct object of başlatmak (to start/restart something). In English terms, this is “the modem,” not just “a modem.” In Turkish, specific direct objects take accusative: modemi (the modem). If the object were truly non-specific/indefinite, you would typically leave it bare: modem.
How is başlattıktan sonra built, and what does it literally mean?
It’s a time clause meaning “after restarting.”
- başlat- = to start (transitive; here “restart” with yeniden)
- -DIK = nominalizer (here surfaces as -tık after voiceless t: başlat-tık)
- -DAn = ablative (here surfaces as -tan: başlattık-tan)
- sonra = after
Put together: başlat- + -DIK + -DAn + sonra → başlattıktan sonra = “after (having) restarted.”
Who restarted the modem? Where is “I” in the sentence?
